It was banned on Reddit because it is racist, hatefull and spread Conspiracies.
In my new community I expect the exclution of racist communities. It is easy now with defederation. Nazis can do whatever they want on their instances, but the instances I want to be part of should not amplify their shit and flush it into our timelines.
The instance-admin of !thedonald@sh.itjust.works did not reply to my message. Big instances seem not to defederate with them.
The new TD may not be a success, the point is not to give Nazis a platform like it is happening now. Fans of TD are racists.
Where are the instances that show face against racism?

edit2: @TheDude deleted the community :)
My point is the issue at hand for people is an instance’s decision to host a community like The Donald. Being able to ignore them misses the point. A lot of people, possibly the majority, do not want the main Lemmy instances to platform a community like The Donald. They want a firm stance of not tolerating intolerant communities.
This isn’t a case of “some assholes.” It’s a case of not wanting /c/fascism type communities given platforms and connecting with instances.
